Abstract

Embodiments disclosed include systems and methods for computer automated print services control comprising authenticating a user credential input via a user device. The system and method includes generating, by a printer driver comprised in the user device, a user interface comprising features supported by a plurality of printing devices. Further, it includes receiving via the user device over the network, a print instruction comprising the features supported by the plurality of printing devices connected to the computer system over the network. And based on the print instruction, generating a print job in an embodiment. Further, based on the user authentication at one of the plurality of printing devices, converting via a gateway, the received print instruction into a format compatible with that printing device and releasing the generated print job for printing at that printing device, according to an embodiment.

Claims12

Dependent claims

A computer automated control system comprising:

a processor;
a memory;
a means for communicating over a wired or wireless network;
instructions stored in the memory and executed by the processor, which instructions cause a computer system to:
via a common driver user application, authenticate an identified user wireless device;
receive an input a command selected from a plurality of commands through the authenticated and identified user wireless device;
store the selected input command in a server along with user identification;
wherein the command is stored in the server via a first module comprising upgradable capability schema with custom commands for a single or plurality of service delivery devices;
the upgradable capability schema is based on a supplier model, a gateway IP address, and a domain name;
via the common driver user application, authenticate the selected input command;
via a second module comprised in the server, authenticate the user wireless device at a gateway or a service delivery device from the single or plurality of service delivery devices by matching received user identification details at the gateway or the service delivery device with stored user identification in the server;
based on authentication of the user wireless device, release a deliverable to the selected service delivery device.
